The Council and those in charge of this haven't a clue about football stadiums and the attention to detail that is involved.

I hope I am proved wrong

The council can't even maintain the astro pitch at Foyle Arena it is like a beach

Completely different kind of pitch, meant to be sandy.

More a hockey pitch than a soccer pitch.

Senior hockey can't be played on it. the local Priorians team have had to play all their games away because the pitch is unplayable

Has there been any confirmation of what type of contamination the Brandywell has and if it will delay the opening of the ground?

The Brandywell site is contaminated ?

Worse than just greyhound shit ?

And we have had some shit teams ?!

It's oil. Shouldn't delay the opening. It's been there historically - just that we're finding it now with the works. Nothing to worry about.

We've discovered oil under the Brandy?

We're rich I tells ye! We'll be the Man City of Ireland.

It's probably there from the Texaco Cup in the 70's

So they found my shoe lost on my pitch invasion v Fk Lyn

Looking forward to some slick performances next season now.

Encouraging stuff.

A lot of work done BUT more to do.

Maybe Santa will bring us the rest of the stand ?!

Has the Council announced a completion date yet? I'm sure it's not helping that the builders have been off from 22nd December until 2nd January.

The first match at the Brandywell will be City v Harps on February 9th

Without having any great knowledge of what's going on with the Brandywell, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that Derry City will definitely not be playing Finn Harps or anyone else in the Brandywell on 9th February.

Look at the pictures above. The place is still a building site. Temper your expectations, lads & lassies, we'll be extremely lucky to get in tongue Brandywell for the match against Sligo Rovers on 23rd February.

OK I will wait for official information thanks Chalkie
